]]> It must be really embarrasing right now to be a member of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC). They all supported Obama for two terms. They all sang his praises for eight straight years. What did those two terms of the first Black President get them? Not squat. Well, unless you count increased racial division, race riots, high black on black crime rates, high unemployment which was aided and abetted by Obama’s policy of virtual amnesty for illegal aliens, and possibly the most corrupt Attorney General in the history of the US…

Oh, and forcing people to buy health care they may not have wanted, his famous pronouncement that “those jobs aren’t coming back,” and mocking Trump for saying they would. You know something about “What’s he gonna do? Wave a magic wand?” Well, maybe Trump does have a magic wand…

State of the Union for Blacks, 2018

While running for President, Trump promised to do more for Blacks in America during his first year in office than Obama had done in the previous eight years. He was mocked by “progressives” for that promise. America after all was in decline, and according to them it was the governments job to manage that decline. Trump was just giving people false hope.

Except he wasn’t. The reason America was in decline was because of policies promoted by so-called progressives. Excessive regulations. High individual taxes. The highest corporate tax rate (by a LOT) of almost every country on the planet. So what did Trump do? The President cut regulations – a lot of regulations. He got Congress to pass one of the biggest tax cut and reform bills in the history of our Republic. He promoted policies that cut illegal immigration – by a lot.

Results? The unemployment rate for Blacks (and also Hispanics) is at the lowest level it’s been since government started tracking unemployment. Reaction from the CBC? Unfortunately, the CBC’s reaction was predictable. After all, they’re leftists first.

Congressional Black Caucus Reactions to Trump’s SOTU

The reaction of the CBC to Trump’s SOTU was predictable. It should also be embarrassing. Here is a President who delivered on his promise to improve the lives of Black Americans. Lower taxes means more take home pay. Lowest Black unemployment in recorded US history.

So how did the CBC react? They just sat there on their ungrateful butts when President Trump announced the low unemployment rate for Blacks. Even worse, some (a lot) of them had scowls on their faces, as if they somehow disapproved of this good news. Why would they act that way? Is it because higher Black employment means less Blacks dependent on government? Are they pissed that a white guy did more for Blacks in just one year than Obama did in eight? Are they bitter that the so-called progressive policies they seem to love so much are a proven failure? I’m anxious to know…

“That’s not our job, that’s what the police are for. So many people in our department are wanna-be cops.”

Huh? Excuse me? I’m not a wanna-be cop, and I have absolutely zero interest in trying to be a hero in an active shooter situation. I do, though, have a huge interest in surviving an active shooter situation if I’m ever in one. I probably never will be, but there was one in Las Vegas last month, and one in my city just 2 days ago.

According to the flyer I got, the class applies to volunteers, students and employees of other private and public workplace domains. Wouldn’t that description include employees of a community college?

]]>Why do communists hate religion so much? It’s an interesting question. Communists, after all, claim to be champions of “true” freedom, so why would they care what anyone chooses to believe? I know that Marx called religion the “opiate of the masses,” but why does one’s personal disdain for religion require that no one else believe it either? It’s not a small thing to communists either. If you click on the graphic, you’ll see a more detailed view of what I’m talking about. Also, it’s a fact that in every single communist country in the history of the planet, religion has been either banned outright or severely restricted? Why? Any devout communist will tell you that God doesn’t exist, so what is it to them if you believe in something that only “exists” in your mind? If God really isn’t real, then believing in God would be no “worse” than believing in Santa Clause or the Easter Bunny. Why then do communists hate religion so much that they feature anti-religious images in their art, and ban organized religion when they take over a country?

Why communists hate religion…

If you look at communism as an ideology, it becomes easier to see why communists hate religion so much. Communism isn’t just an economic theory, it’s an ideology that seeks to control every aspect of one’s life. Not just actions, but words and even thoughts. Step out of line and the State will punish you. In the former Soviet Union they sent dissidents to the gulags. Cuba has their political prisons. Step out of line in North Korea and you might get blown up by an anti-aircraft gun or face an even worse fate. Even trying to leave a communist country is considered a crime, often punishable by death. Why?

If communism is so wonderful, why would people living under it risk prison or worse for simply not agreeing with the State about the “benefits” of communism? Why would they risk getting shot in the back to escape such a glorious “worker’s paradise”? Because in fact the only people who benefit from communism are the lazy and the members of the ruling party. Instead of providing a “worker’s paradise,” communism results in a worker’s hell, with the working class reduced to being slaves to the State. But how does religion tie into that? How can a person’s belief in something the communists claim doesn’t exist be such a threat to the State that religious thought has to be wiped out?

Religion is a direct threat to the communist

In order for a communist state to exist, the State must be acknowledge as the highest authority. By definition, a belief in God is a belief in an authority higher than the State. It probably also involves belief in certain principles that are against the principles espoused by communists. For example, the sanctity of human life. Human individuality. Freedom of conscience. The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. All of which are taught by religion (at least the Christian church I go to), and all anathema to communists, who demand absolute loyalty and subjugation. This, I believe, is why communists hate religion so much.

I was talking to a friend in the local Prepper community who’s working on a set of Bylaws or Operating Agreement (OA) for a prepper group he’s thinking of starting. Anyone interested in the group would be required to sign the OA before being allowed to join. He’s having trouble deciding how much the OA should require potential members to reveal about themselves in certain areas for security reasons. His idea is that if members disclose certain information about themselves and sign a document promising they’ll abide by group rules, they are less likely to be a security risk to the group. I agree that an OA is important, but relying on it is a mistake for a few reasons. First, there is a 100% probability that something will come up within the group that isn’t covered by the OA – so now what? I know, revise or update the OA… and pretty soon it will start to resemble the Nevada Revised Statutes. The second problem with relying on an OA is that signing doesn’t show anything about the person who signed it other than their ability to pick up a pen and sign their name. It demonstrates nothing about their commitment to the group, nothing about their willingness to abide by group rules or standards, and nothing about their willingness or ability to learn. Finally, a person’s signature is only as good as the integrity of the person signing, and unfortunately in today’s world that means a lot of signatures aren’t worth shit.

A better way to vet potential members of a group is by having a set of standards that one must meet before being allowed to join the group. The OA is still important, but only as a backup to the Group Standards. If the Group Standards are set up correctly, compliance not only helps make sure a member won’t be a drag on the group (by having inferior supplies and equipment), but also shows a potential member’s willingness to devote time, money, and effort to the group, their willingness to subordinate their opinion to group goals, and maybe even their ability to learn. There can be problems with trying to enforce standards (that’s another post) but I still think they’re a lot better for vetting potential group members than a signature on an OA.

Of course, for this to work, the standards need to be reasonable and benefit the individual member as well as serve group goals. For example, one standard might be that in order to join the group, a person must have an amateur radio license of General class or above. Does requiring an Amateur Radio license benefit the individual member? Yes. Getting a Ham license gives a person useful knowledge, the ability to legally operate a 2 way radio on frequencies not open to the general public, and opens up networking opportunities that would otherwise not be available. Does it benefit the group? Hell yes, if your group uses amateur radio for group communications (if not, then just don’t use this as one of your group standards). Does it demonstrate some level of commitment? Yes. It costs $30 in test fees if you’re starting from scratch – $15 for the Technician test and $15 for the General. Depending on one’s background and memorization skills, passing each test will require 10 – 20 hours of study. Study guides with all the answers are readily available and inexpensive. For my group, I have study guides that I loan for free. Anyone can take free online practice tests which just happen to use the same exact questions as the real licensing exams. Is it a reasonable Group Standard? Yes, because it meets all 3 requirements of “reasonableness”: It benefits the member, it serves group goals, and it demonstrates a person’s willingness to devote a little time and money towards the group’s needs. In short, there is no excuse to not get a Ham license, at least if you want to be in my group.

This is just an example, but it should give you something to think about for your own group, whether you’re starting one or joining an existing group. Areas where you might want to impose group standards could be food, water, shelter, communications, firearms, and anything else that might apply to your group.

]]>Last night the local Prepper Net’s topic was vegetarian/vegan diets and how they might benefit the prepper during times when meat might not be available. When the topic was announced I just kind of rolled my eyes – I’m not a vegan or vegetarian and my gut reaction was this is just another area of my life where Political Correctness (PC) was showing its ugly face. I was wrong (should have known better knowing this group) and it was actually a pretty good discussion.

First up was a guy who I also know in person from the monthly prepper meetup I go to. He’d just completed a 12 week Healthy Heart course put on by a local hospital and had lots of tips on how to reduce your intake of meat and lots of other unhealthy crap that some of us eat. He pointed out that trying to go “cold turkey” into a heart healthy diet is probably doomed to fail. The key is to make a small adjustment, adapt to the adjustment, then make further adjustment. For example, instead of eating meat 3 meals every day, start by cutting it to 2 meals a day. Then instead of having it 7 days a week, cut it to 6 days a week.

Does this have anything to do with prepping? In my opinion, it has a LOT to do with prepping because a healthy diet helps you get in shape, and being in shape will be really important after SHTF.

]]>Yes it is but it means the opposite of what most people think it does – that family ties are stronger than other ties. The actual meaning though, is that the blood of the oath is thicker than water of the womb – in other words, an oath tie (at least a blood oath) is stronger than relationship by accident of birth. I can verify this through personal experience. My sister’s (or as I fondly refer to her, my ex-sister) has no loyalty to the family. She opposes us on everything, especially religion and politics, and is always anxious to point out how “wrong” we are about, well, just about everything. Then at the slightest little push-back starts ranting about how we’re all “personally attacking” her, “don’t respect” her, and how she feels alienated from the rest of the family.

Guess what bitch? You are. When you walk away from kin, openly mock the values you were raised with and attack family members for defending those values, you ARE alienated from your family. When you tell your own (former) brother that most of the reason for any success he’s achieved in life is due to his “white privilege,” you ARE alienated from the family. And guess what? YOU are the cause of the alienation. As far as I’m concerned you are no longer kin. We didn’t alienate you, you removed yourself by your thoughts, words, and deeds. Hence EX-sister.

]]>When I decided to get my amateur license, I did a lot of reading before deciding on what radio to buy. Based on a lot of negative things I found written about Baofeng radios, I decided to get a Yaesu VX-60R. It’s a nice radio, but finally the low price of the UV-5R (less than $30 on Amazon) was to much to resist, so I got one just to check it out. For $26, I am pretty impressed.

First, I’ll get the “bad” out of the way. According to some sources, Baofeng radios are prone to spurious rf emissions and/or transmitting out of band. I’m not a radio tech and I don’t have a spectrum analyzer, so I’m unable to test mine to see if it suffers from this problem. I know that I get good signal reports, both in simplex mode and when hitting the local repeaters. Another alleged problem is receiver selectivity/sensitivity. This also hasn’t been a problem for me, but radio traffic where I live is pretty sparse. The final issue is warranty coverage. The only company offering US-based warranty support for Baofeng radios appears to be BaofengTech, and they don’t carry all models. If your radio isn’t one they do, it will have to go back to China if warranty work is needed.

OK, so now for the good. First of all, it’s less than $30. For that price you also get a charger with drop-in charging tray (something that is a $40 extra for the much more expensive VX-6R). It’s a dual band transceiver (2m and 70cm) and can also receive FM broadcast band. There are 200 memory channels and it has a built in flash light. Battery life with the included lithium ion (1500 maH) battery seems better than my VX-6R as well. The only thing you’ll need to make the UV-5R useful is a programming cable and Chirp programming software. You’ll have to buy the cable, but Chirp is free.

Programming and using the UV-5R is easy. First, just plug in the programming cable, fire up Chirp (you can ignore the warning message about Baufeng’s firmware), set up your channels/frequencies, and you’re ready to rock. If you don’t know what frequencies to put in, contact your local amateur radio group for a list of local repeaters which will give you a good start. Power is controlled by a power/volume knob on top of the radio, which is also something I like better than the power button on the VX-6R. The orange VFO button controls frequency/channel mode, and the up and down arrows step you through your stored frequencies or channels. The numeric keypad lets you manually enter a frequency in VFO mode or a channel if in Channel mode. There can be a lot more to it, but that’s all I’ve had time to play with so far and anyway I like to keep things as simple as possible.

Bottom line? I really like this radio. It’s easy to program, easy to use, and the built in flashlight is nice to have. It’s not as solidly built as the VX-6R, but it also didn’t cost $265. Considering the price and what you get, the UV-5R is an incredibly good value.

]]>If you want to get strange looks, suspicious glances, maybe even see people physically recoil, just casually mention to friends or family that you’re a prepper or at least interested in prepping. I get funny looks from both my wife and my mom whenever the subject comes up. I know sometimes prepping gets a bad rap, but of all people you’d think my mom and my wife would know I’m not a “crazy”…

The first time happened when I told my wife I wanted to get five cases of distilled water. She couldn’t imagine why we needed it, after all we have tap water. I asked her what happened if something went wrong with the tap.

“Well, if that happens we’ll just go to the store and get some then. Besides, you don’t have room to store it.”

So I explained that if everyone went to the store at the same time to get water as us, the store might be out of water and we wouldn’t have any.

“Oh come on. That’s not going to happen.”

So I asked her if she didn’t think it was a good idea to have some water on hand just in case, to, you know, be prepared?

“Prepared for what?”

The next time happened when we visited my mom. I’d just gotten a copy of Preppers Blueprint and I took it along to read. My mom noticed the book and asked what it was. I told her it’s a book on prepping.

“What is prepping?”

So I told her a little about it and why I am interested in it.

“Oh, what are you prepping for?“

Well, what am I prepping for? First of all, I’m not a doomsday prepper. I don’t believe there is a coming zombie apocalypse, and if there is large scale nuclear war I think I’d be better off at Ground Zero than living through it and dealing with the aftermath. That’s just me, YMMV.

I’m more into prepping for things that are likely to actually happen to me or my family. Boring things like what if there’s a major snow storm and I have to get home from work, pick up my kid from school, and make sure my wife can get home safely from her job. Or the power going out for a few hours or a few days. Silly things like fixing a stuck toilet valve (do you have any idea how much it costs to get a plumber just to take a look?). I’m prepped for a house fire. Major illness. Financially, I’m taking steps to make sure we could survive either or both of us losing our jobs. Putting a plan in place to communicate with family and friends even if the internet is down and the cell phones aren’t working.

When I think about it, most of what I’m doing to prep wouldn’t have been called “prepping” 30 years ago, it was just what people did back then so it didn’t even have a name. I guess if you’d asked somebody to call it something back then, they might have just called it “common sense.” So maybe I’m not really prepping at all, I’m just practicing “common sense” – which doesn’t seem to be very common these days. Maybe that’s why id needs a special name. It’s not an action, it’s just a mindset that leads me to do certain things. And even though I’m not prepping for TEOTWAWKI, I think my mindset and the things I do because of that mindset will help me and my family survive most big events that could happen. Well, except maybe a zombie apocalypse or large scale nuclear war.
